A simple starting point
One person.
One routine.
One conversation.
Choose something specific
Pick an everyday situation you want to understand or plan together. A school arrival, an unfamiliar visit, or an evening routine is more concrete than trying to plan everything at once.
Ask what the person wants others to know
Use their preferred way of communicating. Write down what they express separately from what you notice or assume. They can decline, change an answer or leave a section blank.
Keep the plan flexible
Use the sheet to discuss choices, a way to ask for help, and what can change. Do not use it to demand that someone tolerate distress or earn a break.
Agree what will be shared
Bring only the information needed for the conversation. Keep completed sheets in your own secure files. Do not put confidential medical or identifying details on publicly displayed copies.
When you need more than a planning sheet
These tools are not screening forms or a sensory-treatment plan. For concerns about health, pain, development or participation, speak with the appropriate qualified professional. A person’s existing support plan takes priority over a generic worksheet.
